Day Ten | Fab Music Friday Featuring Bethel Music

Today is a special day in my journey. It’s the last full day of the Daniel Plan Detox. I move into the standard Daniel Plan tomorrow morning. I have a hot date with a cup of black organic Columbian coffee – I am stoked.

This week has been really demanding — demanding enough that I don’t have time to write much about it. This weekend will be more of the same.

I’m going to be looking for ways to abide while I work — to take joy in busyness and be willing to let go of things keeping me from rest. Being overwhelmed is as much a decision as it is a feeling… I need to be careful to discern what is real.

I’ll leave you with a song that’s been speaking to me in new ways over the last 10 days. It’s representative of my journey right now, and of where I really want to be at the end of all this.

Bethel Music represents the worship music and community of songwriters emerging from Bethel Church in Redding, CA.
This song is from their new Album, Tides featuring vocalist Jenn Johnson.

I Can Feel You

The wind and waves surround me
And I’m tossed, Feel like I’m drowning
I am tired, I am weak
I need you here with me
‘Cause I can feel the rising tide
But I don’t have the strength to fight
I feel clouded and confused
I need you here with me

In thechaos of the storm
I have drifted far; far away
But I call out your name
‘Cause you are just a breath
A breath away

Then through the shadows
Your light appears
I’ve known you’re with me
But now it is clear
I can feel you
Jesus all around

Like sun on my skin
Warm to the touch
Here you surround me
I am held by love
I can feel you
Jesus all around

Now hope is rushing through my veins
With everything you’ve rearranged
I am peaceful; I am brave
When you’re here with me

All my questions find their answers here
When you come you change the atmosphere
I am focused; I am clear
When you’re here with me

There is nothing in this world
That will satisfy my soul like you do (2)

Then through the shadows
You’re light appears
I’ve known you’re with me
But now its is clear
I can feel you
Jesus all around
Like sun on my skin
Warm to the touch
Here you surround me
I am held by love
I can feel you
Jesus all around

Though the storm it rages
I won’t be moved
I won’t be shaken
I’m anchored in you
I can feel you
Jesus all around
